Even before the Armistice, the British public received its first published guide to marriage relations. Married Love, by Marie Stopes, discussed sensual pleasure in imaginative, simple and direct manner, and for the first time, brought physiological terms to a popular work. Within a few years, subjects of sexual function and birth control were no longer unusual or shocking, and there were many books available. British women were given access to the world’s first mobile birth-control clinic. A travelling caravan-clinic (horse-drawn), funded in part by a grant from Selfridge’s department store, took the roads in the 1920s.
